    For several years, a man was having an affair with an Italian woman.



    One night, she confided in him that she was pregnant.



    Not wanting to ruin his reputation or his marriage, he paid her a large sum of money if she would go to Italy to secretly have the child.



    If she stayed in Italy to raise the child, he would also provide child support until the child turned 18.



    She agreed, but asked how he would know when the baby was born.



    To keep it discrete, he told her to simply mail him a post card, and write 'Spaghetti' on the back.

    He would then arrange for the child support payments to begin.



    One day, about 9 months later, he came home to his confused wife.



    'Honey', she said, 'you received a very strange post card today'.



    'Oh, really? Let me see...' he said.



    The wife gave it to him and watched as her husband read the card, turned white, and fainted.



    On the card was written:



    'Spaghetti, Spaghetti, Spaghetti.



    Two with meatballs, one without.



    Send extra sauce.'

      Men are like...

      Placemats - they only show up when there's food on the table.

      Mascara - they run at the first sign of emotion.

      High heels - easy to walk on once you get the hang of it.

            Two zebras are talking and one asks the other, "Am I black with white
            stripes or white with black stripes?" The other replies, "Well I don't
            know. You should pray to God about that and ask him." So that night he did
            and God replied, "You are what you are." The next day he said to the other
            zebra, "I still don't understand what I am because God just said, You are
            what you are." The second zebra responds, "You must be white with black
            stripes or else God would have said, Yo is what yo is."

                An elderly couple made a deal that whoever died first would somehow come back to inform the other of the afterlife. Their biggest fear was that there really was no Heaven.After a long life, the husband was the first to go and, true to his word, a few weeks later as his wife sat and watched TV, she heard a ghostly voice saying, "Maude... Maude ... ""Is that you, John?" she asked as she looked in vain around the room.The voice responded, "Yes Maude, I've come back just like we agreed.""What's it like, John?" Maude asked."Well," said John, "I get up in the morning and I have sex. Then I have breakfast, and after that more sex. I bathe in the sun for a while and then I have sex twice. I have lunch, then have sex pretty much all afternoon. After dinner I have sex until late at night and the next day it starts all over again.""Oh, John," Maude said, "then surely you must be in heaven!""Not exactly," John said. "I'm a rabbit somewhere near Diablo,Colorado."

                    A man in a hot air balloon realized he was lost. He reduced altitude and spotted a woman below. He descended a bit more and shouted,

                    "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I don't know where I am."

                    The woman below replied, "You're in a hot air balloon hovering approximately 30 feet above the ground. You're between 40 and 41 degrees north latitude and between 59 nd 60 degrees west longitude."

                    "You must be an engineer," said the balloonist.

                    "I am," replied the woman, "How did you know?"

                    "Well," answered the balloonist, "everything you told me is technically correct, but I've no idea what to make of your information, and the fact is I'm still lost. Frankly, you've not been much help at all. If anything, you've delayed my trip." The woman below responded,

                    "You must be in Management."

                    "I am," replied the balloonist, "but how did you know?"

                    "Well," said the woman, "you don't know where you are or where you're going. You have risen to where you are, due to a large quantity of hot air. You made a promise, which you've no idea how to keep and you expect people beneath you to solve your problems. The fact is you are in exactly the same position you were in before we met, but now, somehow, it's my fault."

                      An Australian ventriloquist visiting New Zealand walks into a Small village and sees a local sitting on his veranda patting his dog.

                      He figures he'll have a little fun, so he says to the Kiwi

                      'G'day, mind if I talk to your dog?'

                      Villager: 'The dog doesn't talk, you stupid Aussie.'

                      Ventriloquist: 'Hello dog, how's it going mate?'

                      Dog: 'Yeah, doin' all right.'

                      Kiwi: (look of extreme shock)

                      Ventriloquist: 'Is this villager your owner?' (pointing at the Villager)

                      Dog: 'Yep'

                      Ventriloquist: 'How does he treat you?'

                      Dog: 'Yeah, real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food And takes me to the lake once a week to play.'

                      Kiwi: (look of utter disbelief)

                      Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'

                      Kiwi: 'Uh, the horse doesn't talk either...I think.'

                      Ventriloquist: 'Hey horse, how's it going?'

                      Horse: 'Cool'

                      Kiwi: (absolutely dumbfounded)

                      Ventriloquist: 'Is this your owner?' (Pointing at the villager)

                      Horse: 'Yep'

                      Ventriloquist: How does he treat you?

                      Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me regularly, Brushes me down often and keeps me in the shed to protect me from the Elements.'

                      Kiwi: (total look of amazement)

                      Ventriloquist: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?'

                      Kiwi: (in a panic) 'The sheep's a f*****' liar......'
